Immaculate Conception
A portrait of companionship – achingly tender and twisted – that captures the tenuous line between love and possession.Mathilde is a dizzyingly talented, tortured artist whose star is on the rise – and Enka, struggling to create art that feels original, is immediately drawn to her.The two strike up a close friendship, but when Mathilde’s fame reaches new heights, her work becoming more and more extreme, Enka becomes desperate to keep her close – no matter the cost.Enka falls in love with and marries a billionaire whose family’s company is funding new technology purported to enhance empathy, and which could allow someone else to inhabit Mathilde’s mind and absorb the trauma infecting her brain.But as their codependency deepens, the boundaries between Mathilde and Enka begin to blur, setting in motion a haunting series of events that will forever change their lives.Blisteringly smart, thought-provoking, and eerily timely, Immaculate Conception deftly navigates big questions of art, technology, authorship, and what makes us human. Its answers will haunt you long after you turn the final page.Praise for Immaculate Conception ‘Huang’s brilliant, imaginative, and ambitious novel gripped me from beginning to end. I loved every moment of it’ Monika Kim, author of The Eyes Are the Best Part‘Huang, the real-life genius holding the palette, deftly weaves competition, longing, fantastical technology, and gobsmacking imagery into an unforgettable tale... utterly gripping: an immersive, transformative read’ Sierra Greer, author of Annie Bot
Rabbits
Tommo has just moved to a prestigious boarding school. A product of the middle class, and with new-found independence thrust upon him, he finds himself invited into fading crumbling country houses.It’s the early nineties and the elite he is now surrounded by is struggling for relevance. Alienated from the mainstream, and running low on inherited wealth, his peers have retreated into snobbery and fatalism. Initially awed by their poise and seduced by their hedonism, Tommo gradually becomes aware of sinister undercurrents and a suppressed rage that threatens to explode into violence.In this world, half-remembered traditions mix with decadence and an awful lot of small dead animals. And sometimes, not just animals. When Tommo’s friend Johnnie’s brother is found dead, a shotgun at his feet, he realises there are secrets that everyone knows, but no one speaks about, or even acknowledges. And those secrets can no longer be hidden.''Keeps the outrageous laughs and twists coming in equal measure'' – Alexander Larman, The Observer

Mystery at Orchard House: A Lady Lupin Mystery
On the eve of World War II, Lady Lupin Hastings, the young, totally scatterbrained but kindly wife to Andrew Hastings, the vicar of Glanville, is off for a bit of a rest cure at a country hotel in Kent, owned and run by her old friend Diana Turner, while she recovers from a bout of influenza. However, no sooner has she arrived when a series of petty thefts - and perhaps even an attempted murder? - requires that she assume her other persona: that of detective. In spite of her best efforts, theft follows theft, and the guests in the hotel all seem to take their eccentricities to new levels. The situation gets even worse when a guest''s car nearly crashes after the steering is deliberately tampered with. Is it attempted murder? And just who set fire to Orchard house? It could be any one of the guests, a very odd assortment who spend most of the time bickering among themselves. As usual, Lady Lupin gets everything wrong yet somehow stumbles to the truth as she runs the hotel in Diana''s absence and tries to conceal her highborn origins from a socialist garage man she befriends. This is the third Joan Coggin book that Galileo has reissued. The first two: Who Killed the Curate and Dancing with Death have proved that the author has a substantial new following- all of whom will be very eager to read this totally entertaining mystery, first published in 1946.

Biztos, hogy halott is marad?
A Gyilkosság a családban Sunday Times bestseller szerzőjétől
Daisy Mason 2016-ban tűnt el oxfordi otthonából. Nyolcéves volt.
Az üggyel országszerte tele volt a sajtó, és végül, amikor a tettes kilétére fény derült, mindenki megdöbbent. Adam Fawley detektív-főfelügyelő is jól emlékszik a nyomozásra, hiszen ő tartóztatta le Daisy édesanyját gyilkosság alapos gyanújával. De a kislány holtteste a mai napig nem került elő.
Most egy gyilkosság nyomrögzítése során bizonyíték merül fel, amely Daisy ügyét más megvilágításba helyezi. Újra megnyitják a nyomozást. Fawley detektív-főfelügyelőnek és társainak is az jár a fejében:
Valójában mi történt Daisy Masonnel?
Larsovo inkognito
Lars, bývalý polda a později soukromé očko, se uchýlil na zasloužený odpočinek. Odpracoval si své a špínu rodného velkoměsta vyměnil za domek na pláži stranou civilizace, chaosu a zločinů. Možná ani sám nevěřil, že by tahle pohoda mohla mít dlouhého trvání, ovšem zprávy z domova překonaly jeho nejčernější představy. Ve městě začala řádit nová zločinecká banda a jednou z jejích obětí se nestal nikdo jiný než Larsův nejlepší přítel Gregor. Rozzuřený Lars se vrací do špinavých ulic, aby zúčtoval s těmi, kteří vztáhli své nenechavé ruce na jeho blízké, a v odvetném tažení postupuje tvrdě, bez milosti a především inkognito.
Délibáb
Stockholm karácsonyi lázban ég, ám a svéd igazságügyi miniszter nagyon nincs ünnepi hangulatban. Kapott ugyanis egy különös üzenetet, amely szerint már csak tizennégy nap van hátra az életéből…
Eközben a metróban egy teljes emberi csontvázra bukkannak. Mina Dabiri és csapata – akik még korántsem heverték ki a kollégájuk elvesztését – kiderítik, hogy a maradványok egy üzletembertől származnak, ennél tovább azonban nemigen jutnak, ezért Vincent Walder segítségét kérik.
De mintha minden összeesküdött volna ellenük: az üggyel így is meggyűlik a bajuk, ráadásul újabb csonthalmok kerülnek elő a metróból, Vincent családja pedig halálos fenyegetést kap. Azután szép lassan világossá válik, hogy – mintha minden egy nagy rejtvény darabkája lenne – a körülöttük zajló események összefüggnek. A kérdés csak az, hogyan. Ki mozgatja a szálakat, és mit akar elérni?
A furcsa nyomozópáros, Mina és Vincent történetének letehetetlenül izgalmas befejező kötete Stockholm metróalagútjaiba kalauzolja el az olvasót, miközben megállíthatatlanul ketyeg az óra, és a bűntények a társadalom legalsó és legfelső köreinek életét is alaposan felkavarják.
Eat the Ones You Love
A twisted, tangled story about workplace love-affairs, and plants with a taste for human flesh from the acclaimed author of Spare and Found Parts and Other Words for Smoke.
During a visit to her local shopping mall, Shell Pine sees a ‘HELP NEEDED’ sign in a flower shop window. She’s just left her fiancé, lost her job, and moved home to her parents’ house. She has to bring some good into her life, so she takes a chance. And flowers are just the good thing she’s been looking for, as is Neve, the beautiful florist. The thing is, Neve needs help more than Shell could possibly imagine.
An orchid growing in the heart of the mall is watching them closely. The beautiful florist belongs to him, and he’ll do just about anything to make sure he can keep growing big and strong. Nothing he eats— nobody he eats—can satisfy him, except the thing he most desires. Neve. He will stop at nothing to eat the one he loves.
Infused with wit, heart and horror, this is a story about possession, monstrosity and working in retail. It is about hunger and desire, and other terrible things that grow.

Náměsíčník
Uprostřed noci někdo nahlásí na tísňovou linku, že právě probíhá vloupání v uzavřeném kempu za Stockholmem. Na volání reaguje nejbližší policejní vůz, a když hlídka dorazí na místo, v jednom z karavanů se jí naskytne děsivý pohled. Podlahy, stěny i nábytek jsou zcela pokryté krví. Někoho tam zabili sekerou a brutálně rozčtvrtili. Kusy těla se válejí po celém karavanu.
Vedle místa činu spí mladý muž, jemuž jako polštář slouží cizí useknutá ruka. Mladík — sotva sedmnáctiletý syn slavného spisovatele — je okamžitě zatčen a převezen do vazby. Záhy se ukáže, že trpí vzácným druhem náměsíčnosti. Mladík může být pachatelem, anebo také svědkem celého masakru, ovšem vůbec nic si z té noci nepamatuje.
Případu se ujme komisař Joona Linna, který požádá svého starého přítele Erika Mariu Barka, aby pomocí hypnózy zjistil, co se v karavanu stalo.
